The underhood label on mine says 0 degrees for both manual and auto trans. I just set mine to 0, but it doesn't seem to be running right. I've heard there's a timing wire that needs to be unplugged before checking the timing. If anyone knows what that is, it would help us both out.
If your motor has the hei with the external coil, you remove the four pin connector on the dist. leave the other one connected. This shuts off the est and you should be able to time the motor.
if it has an automatic its 4 degrees before tdc, with the vaccuum advance off and plugged
8 Degrees above top dead center.
What is the condition
the motor mounts should be the same, as the 318 is the same block as the 340, the only thing I can think of is the oil pan was different on the 340.
yes but it may take a few mods. steering may be an issue
each engine is different but give it to a mechanic and let him set it to somewhere around 32 - 34deg total timing. This will take the vacuum of the engine into play as well. If you don't want to spend the money take the vacuum off the carb and set to 4-6 deg on your timing cover. This will be pretty close to the same setting. If you have difficulty starting turn counter clockwise just a hair and you should be ok.
The order is 1243 I beg to differ:- I own a 1969 Cortina Gt 1600 engine - 2737E 6015B, fitted with Original 32DFM Weber.( and it still runs LEADED Fuel) Firing order is 1,4,3,2.
Chevy never made a hemi motor
6 degreed advanced or BTDC.
Chevy put one in the 1969 Chevelle.
1969-1973 chevy 307
it is a 1969-1979 motor it was used in cars, trucks, and vettes
There was a 396 available in all Chevy trucks from 1968 - 1970.
its either ur timing belt or ur sparkplug wires r wrong
Pontiacs typically like 12-14 degrees initial timing. It's a good starting point.
Buy a motor manual at your local auto parts store.
pry it up off of the motor splines to take it off.
I would set it at 10 BTDC with the distributor vaccum unhooked while setting timing. 10 to 13 degrees is what the factory recomends.
6, to 8 degrees, advanced. Advance it as far as you can, until the motor pings on acceleration, or, under load.
